Musings and Music and Quotes, Oh my!

I am a very curious and rusty violinist and lover of all things artistic, edible, and thought-provoking. And I haven't the faintest idea how to run a blog.

I may think of you softly from time to time. But I’ll cut off my hand before I ever reach for you again.

You know what’s a major pet peeve for me when it comes to arguments against raising the minimum wage? All the references to food service workers as “burger flippers”. Burger flippers are not a thing. You’re never going to see a restaurant post a sign that says “help wanted: hiring burger flippers.” “Burger flipper” is a term used pretty much exclusively to condescend to food service workers and downplay the real work and stress that goes into food service. It makes out like minimum wage workers are lazy people who are literally just standing at a grill, occasionally moving a spatula, all day, mindlessly, and that is their one and only responsibility, which anyone who has ever worked in food service can tell you is not what that job entails. It’s rhetoric used solely to designate them inferior. It doesn’t reflect the reality of minimum wage food service work. It’s annoying.

I am not one to get involved or share strong opinions on political matters, but this is such a good point. Food service is hard work, and employees should be paid fairly for that work, and given more credit and respect than a flippant (for once, no pun intended) term like "burger flipper".

Study for The Birthday Party (c.1929). Thomas Cooper Gotch (English, 1854-1931). Oil on canvas. Falmouth Art Gallery.

The painting was probably inspired by the ballet-theme birthday party of Gotch’s granddaughter, who would have been 14 years of age on March 19, 1929. It demonstrates Gotch’s talent as a colourist in the treatment of artificial light and the fine transparency he painted into such illuminations.

Claude Debussy and Erik Satie, photographed by Igor Stravinsky at Debussy’s home in 1911.

E. Satie vient de terminer une fugue où l'ennui se dissimule derrière des harmonies malveillantes.

E. Satie just finished a fugue where boredom hides behind malicious harmonies.

-Debussy, in a 1908 letter
